It isn’t. I can’t think of someone who was ruined solely because he was a dick. Even Honky Tonk Man had a great career. Shane Douglas, maybe.

Exactly. As a worker, he’s got some strengths. The Strowman program has been a lot of fun. And I’ll continue to give Roman credit for being a ragdoll. He’s really good at that stuff. His Mania match with Lesnar was good for what it was. But for all the negative that’s been said about Cena over the years, he can still…

Because Enzo is terrible. He’s a hype man, but that’s it. And he’s run afoul of the guys in the locker room, evidently, which is what led to Roman kicking off a bus during a European tour.

You mentioned Jericho’s reinventions to me yesterday. That’s what Roman needs. He doesn’t have to become a storyline heel, because nothing would really change if they did that, anyway. But he’s still wearing Shield garb and the “I’m the guy” bit never built his character.

It’s been an odd year for Reigns. He hasn’t won a PPV match in six months, he’s put over Strowman — who at this point is probably the most over guy on Raw — and yet he’s still going to beat John Cena and eventually Brock Lesnar. I’m not sure how Vince thinks taking a product the crowd doesn’t buy, giving in to their…

That’s one of the reasons he’s among the most respected guys in the business. And then you look at what he did last year and up through Mania, building up A.J. and Ambrose and of course Owens and making Raw watchable...it’s rare to see a guy share and cede the spotlight at the same time. He’s not really the GOAT, but…

Might I suggest you’re doing it wrong, then.

Sometimes a work can be so good, it’s perceived to be a shoot. A recent example was at last year’s Summer Slam (I think that was the show), when Brock Lesnar elbowed Randy Orton widethefuckopen and they had to stop the match. Chris Jericho, no rookie, thought Lesnar took liberties and even got into Lesnar’s face about…

I get the feeling teams would rather sign Colin Hanks than Kaepernick.

It’s probably relevant, if coincidental, that the U.S. Open starts tomorrow and Jimmy Connors sings backup vocals on “You Are.”

Yeah, it was technically on the undercard for Ali vs. Inoki. Evidently, that fight did not sell well, because nobody in the U.S. knew who Inoki was. Certainly, he was not well-known in the northeast, where Vince Sr. did business (NWA fans might have known him because they had a partnership with Baba throughout the…

“There is violence on many sides of my name — on many sides.”

Also, Andre the Giant vs. Chuck Wepner.

I think the real question is which quarterback will London adopt as its new favorite son in 2019?

I don’t know how many more games they’d win, but I believe Kaep wouldn’t lose them as many. Does that make sense?

Yeah...The Nightfly. Even though it’s a digital standard, it still sounds magnificent on vinyl.

True...but you don’t think a self-respecting Michigander would eat her pussy, do you?

It’s tough to watch him recede like this. I really didn’t think he’d be one of these hair today, gone tomorrow guys. Figured you could plug him into any system and he could expose all sorts of coverage issues.

Glad to have you here.
